Alright, folks, listen to this! Game 6 of the 1923 World Series, New York Mets at Cleveland, and it’s a classic — five to four, Mets. Five to four! Zakaio Eneki goes boom-boom — two home runs, three RBIs, scores twice. The guy’s carrying this team on his back. This series is tied now, 3–3, and it comes down to Game 7, the winner-takes-all. Can you believe it?
And then — get this — Eric McIntyre, pinch hitting, comes through in the top of the ninth. One at-bat, one hit, a run-scoring single to give the Mets the lead. The Mets weren’t just hanging on — they were taking the fight to Cleveland. And the Indians? They had their chances. Niccolai goes eight innings, gives up nine hits, four runs, two home runs — he was solid, but he just couldn’t hold Eneki down.
The pitching, the clutch hitting, the drama — this is playoff baseball, people! Hoelzle comes in for two outs in the ninth, gets the save, and suddenly, it’s all even. Cleveland, the Indians, they’ve got a lot of heart, but the Mets are not going away quietly. Game 7, tomorrow, Jacobs Field — I’m telling you, you do not want to miss this one.
Zakaio Eneki, ladies and gentlemen — Player of the Game. If the Mets win it all, we’re talking about a hero. The series is wide open. Buckle up!
